In today’s world, as people take matters into their own hands, are self-sufficient, relying on their own ingenuity and know-how, is God in their purview? When troubles arise, are they able to comfort themselves?
I was challenged this morning, after reading a devotion by Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter, Rachel Ruth Lotz Wright. Do I call upon the name of the Lord? When things are going well do I give thanks to Him? When difficulties arise, am I able to still praise Him, even when I don’t understand? When I can’t see where He is leading, do I still call upon the name of the Lord and follow in faith? Can I say like David, “I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.”? (Psalm 18:1-3)
I pray as we all go through our day, every day, that we will “Call upon the name of the Lord, who is worthy to be praised!” Psalm 18:3
